tsi.itw,a' The Seraror, who treats the
whole mstter with proper contempt.
Now aillrm every word my brother il

friends are at perfect liberty to publish in
tul! any letter ever wrote to him, private,
confidential o. official; and, further, Il
Mrs: Logan, or John A. Logan, Jr., will
send to me an accredited agent, will per.
nit him to see end copy all the letters I

GLADSTOSE'S SPEECH
On tho Relations Of Parnellitos with Crlt
In Irslant-The Coercion lill.

| On tho Relations Of Parnellitos with Crime,
In Irslan,l-Tho Coercion Bill.
LONDON, Aprill9.-Mr. Gladstone spoke
at the dinner given by the Eighty cfub
this evening. He said that the time had
arrived when il was necessary to measure
his own position and the position OF the
Unionists. He never entertained sus.
picion that the ParnelliteB assoriatcd
themselves with crime, and his official
knowledge was at least as good AZ that
Of Lord Harrington. The burden
OF proof lay upon the accusera
not upon the accused. Unless the ac.
cusers showed rational probability of
the truth Of their churges, they were
worthless calumniatoIs and should be
shunned as pests OF society. Continuing,
Mr.. Gladatone said he hoped the Liberal.
Unionists who had abstained from voting
on the second reading Of the Crimes bill
would ultimately rally against CO.
ercion. Nothing had occurred to
make the prospect OF homo ,ulo
more hope!ess than it was twelve or even
Blk months sgo than MI. Chanberain,s
statement that the round table conferences
had collapsed because he [Glsdstore1
would not deviate from the provisions NJ
his original bill. It YVES utterly unirue
that he had tried 10 induce the Unionists
to work with the home rule Liberals for
party purposes outside OF the Irish oues.
tion, but had failed in his endeavor.
Bnt tho hitteress OF all was the eight of
tho Liberals supporting the coercion bill.
He had hoped that considerable num.
Der OF Liberals who had voted in favor of
tho crimes bill would eventually refuse To
accept the Measure unless they were as-
anred there would be combined with it a
bill for the relief Of Ireland. For that
reason lie had asked in the House of Com.
mona yesterday the question, Would the
Government stand or fall by its coercion
bill?" Tho cveaive answer he received
showed that the Government meant TO
ioyce through the coercion bin and let the
relief bill take its chances.
He briefly c.it;cizsd tho purposes and
alleged necessity OF the bill, and said that
the question should be referred to the
Judgment Of tho nation. He did not wish
an carly dissolution OF Parliament bat
they muat arouse reflection on the part Of
electors, and he believed dissolution
would produces that effect. Mr.. Glsdstoue
spoke Tor an hour.
